A trainer’s tale

IRVING – Just finished a long session of reading all the Terrell Owens coverage I could find. One of the best stories was a Dallas Morning News tale about Owens’ longtime personal trainer James “Buddy” Primm, who said Owens underwent two traumatic events Monday involving his 7-year-old son and fiancee. According to Primm, the receiver was upset about not being able to visit his son on his seventh birthday and about his engagement recently being called off. But Primm said after talking with Owens and his confidants, he believes Owens did not attempt suicide Tuesday night. “He probably took the pain medication and fell off to sleep,” Primm said. “Then when he gets up, of course, he’s going to be weird.”

Perhaps Owens was depressed over those events and took one or two more pills than he should have. But suicide?
